With top heavy numbers and low visits, it's obvious that people would be laid off, this is not going into financial difficulties but just good business sense. Maybe you should find out the facts before bad mouthing an extremely good company.

and you work for?

I tell you what though. If I happened to chance upon a message board and read that my employers were getting a bit of a mild slagging off, I'd think "Yeah, whatever".

I wouldn't start getting all defensive and be moved to write a heartfelt response.





Unless of course... I'D BEEN BRAINWASHED!!!!:eek:

Ooo... That sounds like someones gotten all defensive :rofl:. So why did Parador sack 14 aftersales office staff in one day, cut department sizes, lay off a majority of the sales staff...If... it is just a slight dip in tours happening? Surley if there is just a dip in the tours, you only need less sales staff?... why would you need to get rid off the financial/customer aftersales staff. After Christmas there is always a dip in tours in all property companies...

When a company starts cutting its aftersales staff when their amount of aftersales customers hasn't actually gone down....then that seems to be more of a sign that there are some inner financial problems with a company other than just a "dip" in the amount of tours... Although I don't work for such a company but it appears someone does.

All those poor duped Parador "owners" club clients who have paid nearly 1000euros have had their staff and services cut.... I really feel sorry for them... They deserve more. :(:(:(

Fully agree, when we bought in 2005, the amount paid for aftersales was 600 Euros, and that got us upto 1 year of help, and the help given was fantastic, hoiwever the person no longer works for them, but before he left they were down to just 1 days assistant for their aftersales payment, and several of the offices, and their very helpful staff had been 'downsized'. When we recently advertised our house for sale, Parador was NOT on the list of agents wer had any interest in using.

Exactly. Most RE agents I know offer unlimited aftersales service for free.

Parador are in deep doodoo because they are having to refund alot of clients that bought on Almanzora Country Club. It's got serious now and alot of people want their money back rahter than risk buying illegal properties. Bearing in mind we aren't talking initial deposits here, most people will have paid 50%, that's alot of money :blink:
